Abstract

Finger-knuckle-print is one of the emerging biometric traits. The region of interest is the area where the maximum information is centered, for a finger knuckle it is the area surrounding the knuckle region. A good system needs this region of interest as input for the feature vector extraction. In this method we present a novel approach for segmentation of Region of interest (ROI) of a finger-knuckle-print using gradient field orientation & its local field strength. This approach is fast and gives good results in case of shift in finger-knuckle-placement (translational shift).
